Abstract

Good leadership and training are essential for every level of a congregation's life. Jesus' model of servant leadership is perfect and relevant for every congregation and its various organizations. This model of leadership ensures growth and health in the life of the church. Leadership is the key to the internal life of the congregation, as well as to its relationship with the outer world and fruitfulness in that world. The author designed a leadership training course consisting of eight sessions, in which the participants studied leadership models from the Old Testament and the New Testament. The eight lessons were biblically based, but they were also enhanced by leadership and congregational studies from such professional scholars as Edwin H Friedman, Peter L Steinke, and Diana Butler Bass. Each of the sessions included lecture, discussion, evaluation, and personal and group assessments. The goal of training leaders and of creating personal and group awareness of the need for servant leaders was achieved.
